Years later, living in New York and trying to keep a low profile, his past suddenly catches up with him as the US is gearing up to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. Abdoh has also published short stories and essays on war and politics in numerous journals; in 2010 he edited Callaloo Journal's issue of Middle East and North Africa writers. For his prose he has won the New York Foundation for the Arts award in 2008 and the National Endowment for the Arts award in 2010.

The play was first produced in 1994.[4] References1. ^{{cite book |title=The New York Times Book Reviews 2000 |last=Harlan |first=Megan |year=2001 |publisher=Taylor & Francis |isbn=1-57958-058-0 |pages=358 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lvmlKidxY0EC&pg=PA359 |accessdate=2008-06-25}} 2. ^{{cite book |title=Trailing Clouds: Immigrant Fiction in Contemporary America |last=Cowart |first=David |year=2006 |publisher=Cornell University Press |isbn=0-8014-7287-3 |pages=110 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xnPTFxkmn08C&pg=PA110 |accessdate=2008-06-25}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=It was hell being a travelling salesman in the Old West |url=http://books.guardian.co.uk/reviews/crime/0,,1268465,00.html |work=The Guardian |date=2004-07-25 |accessdate=2008-06-25 | location=London | first=Peter | last=Guttridge}} 4. ^{{cite book |title=Re:direction: A Theoretical and Practical Guide |last=Schneider |first=Rebecca |author2=Cody, Gabrielle H. |year=2001 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=0-415-21390-8 |pages=178 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XU9QvYQruo8C&pg=PA178&dq=%22Salar+Abdoh%22&num=100&sig=ACfU3U0ggmjkrWXt-2zhEWdGj_8S55e95w#PPA178,M1 |accessdate=2008-06-25}} External links
